of the hottest contests that has ever
taken place in this country.

Mrhe Rnx Baby.n

Monday evening Chas. II. Hoyt
will produce for the first time in this
city his very funny comedy A Rag
Baby, at the Grand Opera House.
The piece .abounds in specialties,
songs, and hundreds of ridiculous sit
uations. 1t has done an unusual busi-
ness all over the country. 1t is a
laughing farce and The Rag Baby is
sure to draw large audiences the en-
tire week at the Grand. Following
are a few notes in relation to the pro-
duction:
Charlie Reed, who plays "Old
Sport" in Hoyt's A Rag Baby, visited
Mr.. Hoyt' at his country house at
Charlestown, N. H., this summer, and
spent several days there. That town
is the scene of A Rag Baby, and most
of the characters in the comedy are
drawn from citizens of the town, jnst
as the people in Denman Thompson's
play, The Old Homestead, are repro
ductions of Mr.. Thompson's neighbors
in Swanzea, which, by the way, is but
a short distance from Charlestown.
Mr.. Reeds visit to Mr.. .Hoyt gave him
an opportunity to meet and study the
quaint, eccentric, but lovable old gen.
tleman who was sketched by Mr..
Hoyt in "Old Sport"
Fred Barbour, who formerly kept
the drug store at Charlestown, N. H.,
in which the scene of Hoyt's comedy,
A Rag Baby, is laid, and who figures
as one of tile characters in the play,
now resides in Detroit, Mich.
Chas. Hoyt personally superintends
the production OF his new comedy, 4
Hole in the Ground. 1t is a fact that
the success OF his Rag Baby and Tin
Soldier are almost wholly due to his
careful stage management. He is
most thorough in every detail, dictates
every bit of business and the reading
of every line. He will sometimes re-
hearse an actor an hour to get the
right intonation of line or just the
right look or gesture to accompany it.
Actors think he is crank to do this,
but the result of his work is that the
line brings u laugh.

that will carry forty passengers each,
and feet Of small yachts, the Com
modore will be able to give excursions
in the beautiful Santa Monica Bay, with
a trip to Santa Barbara and the Chan

is deserving of great praise.

The Capltal Of Peru.

The grand plaza, bright with Its foun-
tains, its flowers and trees, has upon its
northern and eastern sides the Santa
Rosa cathedral and palace, as / have
already stated, while fronting its western
and southern sides stand the principal
business buildings of the city. Restaus'
rants and cafes here abound, and stores
Of every description. The fashionable
shops of the aristocracy are here, where
costly fabrics are retailed, and drugs,
cutlery, fruit and groceries sold. They
are arranged upon the American plan,
and are mainly owned by progressive
Yankees. There is one very noticeable
feature about this business center, and,
indeed, the same is true Of all other por-
tons Of the city, and that is its extreme
quiet; the almost Sabbath like serenity
that ch~aracterizes it, so different from
the hustle and hurry of American towns.
One block east of the plaza, just in the
rear of the grand cathedral, is the Lima
market, where fresh vegetables, fruits in
endless variety, meats and wearing ap-
parel of the richest description car be
bought. In many respects it much re-
sembles the French market at New
Orleans. 1t is the principal market Of
the city, and, taken all in all, is a very
curious place. Here are heaps Of fruits
and vegetables of all kinds; liquors, the
choicest and best; paintings and furniture
to suit the most fastidious fancy; silken
finery and delicate lace work are hung in
gorgeous festoons from the frames above;
toys and hooks, candies and bon bons are
here in profusion-in short, almost every
thing in the market line is here exposed
for sale. There is maize, too-the finest
in the world: and now the visitor stops
to admire the huge piles of chunn or pre-
served potato of Peru, which, prepared
by a process Of freezing and drying, is
said TO be highly nutritious. The potatoes
here are very fine and large; and with
justice, since it was from this country
that they were introduced to the world.
Judging from the vast heaps of silky
wool from the backs Of mountain sheep,
one would suppose that the Peruvians
would manufacture their own goods; but
on the contrary, not a loom is heard
throughout the entire country, all, or
nearly all, their wearing apparel coming
from the factories Of Yorkshire, England.
Peru is backward in the matter of manu-
factories, lacking the spirit, the enter
prise and the thrift of colder climates.
At any of the many little tables scat
tered about the crowded market and pre-
sided over by dusky faced women in
bright costumes, one can regale ones
self, for a very small sum, with fresh
milk and eggs, and delicious rolls, with
butter in which the taste Of the flowers of
dewy meadows still delightfully."- fingers.
Coffee, rich and stimulating, is handed to
you by the pleasant Inca maids, gracious
as Hebe, the cup bearer of the gods. One
can certainly pass an enjoyable hour here,
and the market certainly well merits a
visit. -Callao PERU Cor. The Argonaut.
